Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Whole Grain Bread

Dinner Tonight: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Whole Grain Bread





We got some much needed rain all last night into the early morning. The most rain we've had in a while, it was getting kind of dry around here. As the rain moved it out it took all the humidity with it. The day was a beautiful sunny and fall like day. Tomorrow they said it would struggle to reach 70 degrees, smells like Fall! For dinner tonight, Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Whole Grain Bread.





This is my favorite Lasagna recipe, the Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna! It’s very easy to make as the dinner kit contains the Lasagna Pasta, Tomato Herb sauce, Ricotta Sauce Mix, and Grated Parmesan Cheese. I added 1 lb. Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, 1 Cup water, Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, 2/3 Cup 2% Milk, 1 (8 oz.), Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 Cups), 1/2 cup Shredded Dutch Gouda, and I also added a bit more seasoning (McCormick Grinder Italian Herb). I combined the Mozzarella and Goda Cheese. Gouda is such a great tasting Cheese and is a perfect melting Cheese. Basically you just layer your ingredients in a 8″ square baking dish and cover and bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes and bake an additional 10 minutes uncovered. The product description along with full instructions are at the bottom of the post.



Prepared by the instructions it was 390 calories but I cut that and the carb count down by using Jennie O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast instead of Beef and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese. The Lasagna comes out delicious every time! Everyone really loves this. The flavor as always is excellent. The Sauce was thick and well seasoned and the same for the pasta, perfect, plus plenty leftovers to freeze for later. I also had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a new one,  Jello Chocolate Mousse. Easy to prepare, very tasty, and 160 calories per serving. I served it topped with Coll Whip Free.
